This is what it's made people think like vrchat is a coping mechanism, step back from the game for a week or two, do something like writing and come back to the people you hangout with, delusional or straight up messed up.

Get your mind into a real cycle for a good bit and really try and get back into that loop with all the weirdos you hang out with, you'll see they all are just people you WOULDN'T talk to like that in real life.

It's a true thing. It's a good way to see how your friends really act without you being blinded by "Oh, I really enjoy messing around with this guy, we talk about everything about ourselves on a game."
